Chapter 5

Domon felt the sun blazing through the window in his room and awoke from his slumber. The King of Hearts rose from his once sleeping position and stretched for a moment or two before heading downstairs. Domon felt like a million dollars—he could not remember the last time he was able to get up from his bead and head into a waffle-scented kitchen. As he sat down at the dining table, Kyoji noticed that Domon had not changed from the clothes he wore yesterday.

"So Domon, anything interesting happen last night?" Kyoji—Domon's older brother—knew that his younger sibling had indeed encountered Rain last night by the look on his face.

When Domon heard Kyoji's question, all he could do was spit his orange juice which had once been in his mouth. "Uhm, nothing happened Kyoji. Why do you ask?" Domon tried hard not to show blush that was creeping on his face from the memories of meeting with a girl in the middle of the night.

"Oh, no reason at all." Kyoji finished up his last bite of waffle and stood from his seat. "Just wanted to know what you and Rain were doing last night, that's all." Kyoji gave a quick laugh as he started to leave the kitchen. Before he left the room though, he turned to Domon. "By the way Domon, we have to go to the government building in about two hours."

Domon looked at the clock which was placed right above Dr. Kasshu's head. "Oh, that's right." 'Today I begin my training for the next gundam fight.'

Dr. Kasshu noticed that his youngest son was in deep thought about being Neo-Japan's gundam fighter. "Domon, my son, I know you will do great in this trounament and will make all of Neo-Japan proud." Dr. Kasshu gave a quick reassuring smile.

"Oh, my son. You have just returned home and now you're off again." Mrs. Kasshu sat on the table and looked at Domon.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll be home before you know it!" Domon started inhaling down all of his waffles. "And besides, how could I stay away from your cooking for that long!" Domon stopped gobbling his food and gave an honest smile towards his parents. "I promise I'll be in touch and will try my hardest to please you both."

Dr. Kasshu put his arm around his wife. "Son, you have already made your mother and I proud. Look at you: no longer the young boy I remember, but now the great man I see before me."

"Thanks dad." Domon took a good look at both of his parents before he left the table. The King of Hearts turned to his parents once more, "I'll miss you guys."

Dr. Kasshu and Mrs. Kasshu both gave the loving-parent smile and gave a nod to their son. "Now go on, you don't want to be late."

Domon was sad to say the least for leaving his parents once again. He remembered all of the times his parents had always been there for him and Kyoji. It was hard to just see them for one day and then leave again, but he knew that this would not be the last time he would ever see his parents. The young King of Hearts gave a last smile to his parents and then got into his corelander and headed for the government building.

As Domon drove to the government building, he saw a couple coming out of a little hotel. He looked a little closer and saw a young, tanned man walking along with a beautiful blue-eyed woman. Domon turned his head quickly, not wanting to see all of the romantic fluff. 'What is this I'm feeling?" Domon continued driving while experiencing mixed feelings of mourn, agony, and jealousy.

At the Government Building…

The entire building had people working everywhere. As Domon walked along, he found an old doctor along with two younger men: one being slightly older than the other. Domon went to the three men, knowing that they were the men he was supposed to talk to.

The older man spoke, "Domon! Glad you've arrived."

"Of course, Dr. Mikamura," said Domon as he approached them. Domon looked up to see his brother and noticed that he had just been in what seemed to be an important conversation with the other man. "Hey, Kyoji. So what's going on?"

"Domon Kasshu, I am pleased to meet the new King of Hearts, I am Major Ulube Ishikawa," said Ulube. Major Ulube seemed to be an approachable man, but 'something seems weird about him,' thought Domon.

"Ah yes, so you've finally arrived I see," said another strange man. This person seemed younger than Dr. Mikamura, but older than Major Ulube. "Pardon me, I'm Commissioner Karato and is it safe to say you three have informed Domon about the next year?"

"No, not yet. Domon has just arrived," said Dr. Mikamura. The doctor turned to look at the future gundam fighter. "Domon, for the next year you will stay here, at the government building, and will be trained on how to use the gundam properly and all of the other necessities you will need to learn," said the good doctor.

Domon looked back at Dr. Mikamura and simply nodded. He knew that once he had accepted being Neo-Japan's gundam fighter he would have to give his life for the next few years and would be practically giving himself to the government—doing whatever seemed necessary to prepare him for the tournament. For the officials standing before him, the gundam fight and Domon meant ruling the entire universe; however, for Domon, this tournament has ceased to hold any meaning—it is just another fight.

"So Domon, enough with the chit-chat…it's time to start your training!," said Commissioner Karato enthusiastically.

Elsewhere…

Rain began to open her eyes as the ship came to a full stop. Rain gave a full yawn and asked, "Where am I?"

"We, my dear, have just arrived in Neo-Turkey," said Seitt , now coming into full view. Seitt started to get their entire luggage as his fiancée started to stretch her way to be fully awake.

When Rain was finished adjusting to the new day, she rose and took her own luggage from Seitt. "So Seitt, where are we headed to off now?," asked Rain.

As they both started their leave from the ship Seitt answered, "Well first I've got to go have a talk with the government officials first, then it's all you and me after that." Seitt gave Rain a smile that would melt any woman's heart. Seitt looked back down to Rain and saw that she had not responded and asked, "Hey Rain, what's wrong?"

Rain suddenly looked back at her boyfriend and came back to reality. "Oh I'm sorry, Seitt. I was just thinking about yesterday and meeting all of my old friends again has just been on my mind," answered Rain.

"I see…hey Rain I have a question for you," said Seitt.

"Yes?" was Rain's only answer. She looked back and saw that Seitt seemed a bit nervous—why, she was not aware of.

Seitt gave a little nervous cough and asked, "I was just wondering how long you and that guy, Domon Kasshu, have known each other."

"Me and Domon? We've known each other since we were young children: our fathers were the best of friends and I guess he and I were just the same. We remained together up until the time he left to train with the world's greatest martial artist, Master Asia. Why do you asked?" Rain was confused as to why her fiancée would ask such a question since he never really seemed interested in her childhood before.

"Huh? Uhm, no reason…just wondering," said Seitt.

They both continued on walking in silence until finally they reached their destination. "Look Rain! We're here, that's the government place," Seitt exclaimed. They both entered the building and entered to the main office.

Upon entering the room, both Rain and Seitt were greeted by a young man. "Seitt, I'm glad you have finally arrived," said the man and turned his head to Rain, "and who may I ask is this young woman here?"

"This is my fiancée Rain. She will also be my partner for the gundam fight, I presume this will be fine right?," Seitt said as he took Rain's hand in his.

"I see, congratulations Seitt. I guess it will be fine for her to be your partner, but what can she do to help out?" The official returned back to his desk and sat down as he motioned for the two visitors in his office to take a seat as well.

"Her profession is a doctor, so she can heal my wounds from battle as well as a great mechanic," exclaimed Seitt with great pride.

The official took a glance at Rain before looking back down to his paperwork. "I see, it surprises me that a beautiful young woman, such as she, could have such great talents. You've got to hold on to this one Seitt," said the young man.

Rain's face turned a shade of pink from the complement she just received. "Thank you," said Rain.

"Well enough of that, time to get you two prepared for the 13th Gundam Fight," said the official.

One year later…

After the past year, Domon felt more than ready to be Neo-Japan's gundam fighter. Both he and Kyoji just arrived on Earth and were now roaming around Neo-Italy, hoping to find the gundam fighter representing this nation. Neo-Italy had once been a great city and was known as "The Gateway to Europe," but now, it was just a pile of ruins. Most of the buildings looked like it belonged in the dumb, and the other buildings that were not trash weren't trash is destroyed. Children crying could be heard in every dark street—every street being dark. Police sirens suddenly roamed around every street as they headed to the same location.

The numerous police cars caught Domon's attention and asked, "Hey Kyoji, any idea why there are so many police cars all of a sudden?"

The older Kasshu brother looked around and answered, "Nope, no idea. But we should see where they're headed." The two Kasshu brothers started heading to location that seemed to have caught all of the police's attention.

When they finally arrived at the scene of the crime, both men were surprised that all of the cops were actually heading to the location of Neo-Japan's gundam. The red carrier had landed straight into the ground, but seemed to have not injured anyone.

Domon looked amused and exclaimed, "Oh! So this is where the carrier landed. Thank goodness I still set the coordinates to Neo-Italy." Domon was referring back to the incident that occurred right before they entered the ship that was supposed to take them to the gundam fight battleground.

Flashback…

"Hey Domon hurry up! We're going to be late for the ship!," Kyoji exclaimed while preparing to leave for the shuttle to Earth.

"Yeah I know, just give me a second here!" Domon finally got his luggage packed and noticed that Kyoji had already started leaving without him. Domon ran to catch up to his older brother and noticed that the gundam had not been fully locked inside the carrier. Putting the gundam properly inside the carrier was Kyoji's job, but since they were in such a rush Domon guessed that his older brother forgot about the gundam. Domon had seen Kyoji test the gundam plenty of times and noticed that when working with the carrier he would always push a certain red button. Domon looked for that particular red button and pressed it and noticed that the gundam was going inside the carrier, thinking that he pressed the right button.

When Domon finally arrived back at the ship, he told his brother of how foolish he was to have not put the gundam in the carrier. Kyoji was surprised to hear that Domon had pushed a red button and decided to ask which one he pressed.

"Hey Domon, was this button in a little red case?" Kyoji was hoping that his brother had not pressed that particular button.

Domon thought back and said, "Yeah! I saw you press that button plenty of times while working with the carrier. The gundam went inside, so it must have been the right one!" Domon gave back an innocent grin.

Kyoji was shocked and in total panicked to find out that the button had been touched. "Domon, you idiot! That button was to set the coordinates of the carrier's destination! I set it already, no one was supposed to touch it! I have to go back and set it," said Kyoji in total panic.

"Opps! Sorry, we should go back now!" Both Kyoji and Domon started to leave their seat when suddenly the driver of the shuttle's voice could be heard through the intercom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now leaving for Earth." Suddenly, the ship started to leave in hyper speed while the two Kasshu brothers looked at each other, panicked.

"This can't be good," said both Kyoji and Domon.

End Flashback…

"Thank goodness for you because if this gundam were to have not arrived here, I would have given you the scolding of a lifetime!" Kyoji said to his brother. Suddenly a middle-aged man came up to the two brothers.

"Hey! You two know anything about this thing!?" The man seemed to have been deprived of sleep with an inspector coat.

Kyoji thought something was going on and decided to answer for the both of them, "No, we're just tourists, here." Kyoji pulled out his passport and showed it to the inspector.

The inspector took a look at the little booklet and finally decided to stop the interrogation. "Fine, but you two better stay out of trouble. When I find the owner of this thing I'm gonna' give him what he deserves—pain and torture!"

Domon finally decided to speak and said, "Hey, you wouldn't happen to know the location of Neo-Italy's gundam fighter would you?"

"What? Why would you want to know a thing like that? Anyways, yeah I know where he is. He lives at that building over there." The inspector raised his hand and pointed to a building, a building that seemed to be the only one in perfect condition. At that, the inspector left the two brothers.

Both Kyoji and Domon looked at each other and nodded, heading for that building.

At that building…

"Someone's here for me? Well then, let's give them a warm welcome," said a man with long, red hair evilly.

Domon and Kyoji saw a man coming down the stairs. "Are you Michelo Chariot?," asked Domon.

"Yes, and who might you be?" Michelo gave a wicked grin to Domon.

"I'm a gundam fighter and I challenge you to a gundam fight!" Domon said with enthusiasm, ready for his first match.

"Gundam fighter eh? Well let's get started then!" Michelo jumped into his Neros Gundam while Domon called for his.

"Rise Shining Gundam!!!" Suddenly the red capsule seen earlier started to open and a samurai-like gundam started to appear. Domon hopped into the gundam and got ready for his first gundam fight.

"Gundam all set? Ready? Go!!" Both fighters started to attack each other.

Both gundams gave their share of punches and kicks, but it seemed that Shining Gundam was in total control. Michelo Chariot gave Domon his 'special beam kick," but even that was not able to stop Domon.

Suddenly, Domon could hear Kyoji's voice. "Domon, do it now!"

"Right!" Domon turned to his opponent as the King of Hearts crest appeared on his right hand. "This hand of mine is burning red, its loud cry tells me to defeat you! Here I go, Shining Finger!!" Domon's gundam's hand started to shine as it attacked Neros Gundam's head.

After the fight, Michelo was taken away as Kyoji and Domon headed off to their next destination. "Hey Domon, good job." Kyoji gave his younger brother a sincere smile.

"Thanks. Let's go." Domon started off with Kyoji right behind.

Meanwhile…

"What? Neros Gundam has already been defeated?? By who?" Seitt had asked a common pedestrian.

"Michelo Chariot was easily defeated by the Neo-Japan fighter. Now if you don't mind, I must be leaving." The young man started to leave his own way.

"You hear that Rain? Looks like your nation's gundam fighter is pretty good." Seitt started to leave. "Well then, nothing here. Let's go."

Rain looked at her boyfriend and said, "Right."
